at any particular location what the chance that a tropical storm
or hurricane will affect the area
sometime during an individual month. We utilized the years 1944
to 1999 in the analysis and counted hits when a storm or hurricane
was within about 100 miles (165 km).
Many folks are are concerned about the possible impacts that
a hurricane could have on their vacation. If so, please
check with your hotel, cruise company, etc. to find out how they
inform their guests when a hurricane is coming, what actions they
plan and what refund policies they have (if any). Keep in mind
that a direct hit by a major hurricane is an extremely rare event
and if I had a chance - for example - to go on a cruise in the
Caribbean Sea during hurricane season, I would go without hesitation.
